This love story begins in the summer of 2001. Our dads met while riding motorcycles and quickly became friends. We would hang out when our families would have get-togethers, but we lost touch as we got older and stopped going to our parents' parties. Fast-forward to May 2018, we both attended a mutual friend's wedding. We found ourselves standing next to each other in the line for the bar and spent the whole night talking and catching up. A few weeks later, we planned our first date, and the rest is history! We like to spend as much time outside as possible - whether we are hiking some trails with our dogs, exploring Lake Lanier, or just sitting on our front porch rocking chairs. We are even planning on going to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for our honeymoon! For the proposal, Alec planned a weekend getaway to a cabin in Blue Ridge. Alec got down on one knee at a scenic overlook with views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was an easy "Yes!" We can't wait to start this new chapter in our lives and celebrate with all of our favorite people!
